Maybe it is sad to say this, but the only concept in this article that I grasp is “child porn”, everything else is pretty much Greek to me....or should I say “Geek to me”.

I sided with Apple in the encryption fight. But this is idiotic. The government found a backdoor in their system and Mozilla wants the government to be FORCED to explain how they did it?

Remember, this is the same company that fired that CEO because they found out he had privately donated to an anti-gay marriage organization.

Dear Mozilla,

Offer higher payment for zero-days. Finding them requires a lot of work by very highly skilled people. Highly skilled workers expect to be well paid. Their compensation should come from Mozilla, as a necessary cost of improving their code. It should not come from American taxpayers who paid NSA employees or Zerodium or someone else to develop this exploit.

The government again refuses to comply with the law that requires the revelation of flaws in hardware and software to the manufacturers and publishers that allows hackers to break in through the flaws. This time it's in Mozilla's FireFox. A Federal Court has refused to require the government to follow that law in a Kiddie Porn case in which a FireFox flaw was exploited to break the case. — PING!
